I suspect that digitals will be sold as much by computer stores and
department stores in future. I've noticed a couple of stores here with a
computer department gearing up to sell digital (Harvey Norman, Wayne).
Traditional camera stores won't compete well with fast turnover discount
operations selling short lived consumer goods - especially when they can't
support it with film processing income.
